I'm pretty much finished with my Revell Monogram P-40B "Tiger Shark" kit and I'm wondering what kinds of olive-drab and grey i should use on this kit to represent the standard USAAF colors like as seen here:



I picked up the two colors today and am wondering if they would be close enough to the actual colors used. I picked up Model Master Flint Gray (36314) and Olive Drab (34038), just trying to get my bird to look as close as possible to the real colors.

G'day Joshua
Iyou did a really good job on this mate, the colours look great!
cheers

Ah, no, no. :-)

I didn't make that one, it's more of a reference model of someone elses work to represent the colors I'm trying to achieve with mine.

Sorry about the confusion! lol

That OD is exactly what you want. The flint gray I have no idea about. Neutral Gray is what you are wanting, but from looking at the FS number, Flint Gray seems alright. Best of luck.

Thanks USNavy, I'll get right onto painting the rest of this bird just as soon as im done watching the rest of Tora! Tora! Tora!
